Degrees of Freedom
 The
number of planes in which
motion can occur at a joint
(3 is max)
Functions of Articular
Joints
 Provide
movement of the
skeleton
 Provide stability of the skeleton
 Stability vs. Mobility
» Factors: Bony Congruency and
connective tissue connection
Sub-Classification of
Diarthrodial (synovial) Joints
 Uniaxial
» ____ degree of freedom
» Examples: hinge, pivot
 Biaxial
» ___ degrees of freedom
» Examples: condyloid, saddle
 Triaxial
/ multiaxial
» ___ degrees of freedom
» Examples: ball-and-socket, plane

This illustrates a _______ (hinge) joint of
the distal interphalangeal joint of a finger
with ________of freedom of movement.
Biaxial saddle joint :
the carpometacarpal
joint of the thumb with
2 degrees of freedom.
ARTHROKINEMATICS
Triaxial ball &
socket joint –
glenohumeral joint
with 3 degrees of
freedom
 Movement
of articular surfaces within
the joint cavity
 Arthrokinematic movements:
» Roll
» Slide/glide
» Spin
CONVEX/CONCAVE RULE


Any given articulating
bony surface of a joint
can usually be classified
as relatively convex or
concave.
Arthrokinematic motion
(roll, slide) usually
occurs between one
moving surface and one
stable surface.
CONVEX/CONCAVE RULE


Convex on Concave: If the moving surface is convex,
the moving bone travels in the opposite direction as
the slide of its articulating surface. (roll is same direction)
» AKA: Rule of moving convex surfaces
» Example - humerus on scapula, femur on hip bone
Concave on Convex: If the moving surface is concave,
the moving bone travels in the same direction as the
slide and roll of its articulating surface.
» AKA: Rule of moving concave surfaces
» Example - tibia on femur, ulna on humerus
2nd Metacarpophalangeal joint
Close-packed vs Loose-packed
Position

Close-packed position
» Joint surfaces maximally congruent
» Ligaments taut
» High joint stability

Loose packed
» Joint is maximally loose
» Resting position is loosest position
» Arthrokinematic motion is often examined and
treated in the resting joint position
Kinematic Chains
 Open
(OKC)
» Single joint may move freely without
causing movement at another joint
 Closed
(CKC)
» Movement of one joint causes other
joints to move in a predictable pattern
 Consult
and discuss pics and ID
as OKC or CKC.
